Gulf states cut Qatar off, put India in a spot

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrein, Yemen, Mauritius, Mauritania, the Maldives and Libya's eastern-based government cut off ties with Qatar over alleged support to Islamist and Iran.

With a huge diaspora population residing in West Asia, India has to navigate the fault lines that has emerged in the region.

As the crisis broke out, External affairs minister Sushma swaraj emphasized on India’s non-interfering position and stated that India has good ties with all regional rivals which includes Saudi Arabia and Iran.

India’s stake in West Asia:

Prime minister Narendra Modi has visited UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Qatar in the last three years

Crown prince of UAE was India’s chief guest at the Republic day celebrations

New Delhi recently hosted the Palestinian president and the Indian Prime minister is scheduled to visit Israel early next month

India’s enhanced operation with Saudi Arabia and UAE in the field of counter terrorism has yielded rich dividends

West Asia is highly significant for India from the point of energy security, as India is highly dependent on oil imports from the region

Another challenge will be to ensure wellbeing of Indian diaspora in the region

Understanding the West Asian crisis:

Gulf allies have repeatedly criticized Qatar for its alleged support (that includes funding) to Muslim brotherhood, an Islamist group that is considered a terrorist organization by Saudi Arabia and UAE

Saudi Arabia and its allies in the gulf blocked Qatar media outlets, including Al-Jazeera over alleged comments made by the Emir of Qatar
